Peter King was a shield bootlicker that probably had some problematic old man takes but I generally liked his presence in the football sphere. Affable fellow that often had some genuinely interesting nuggets in his columns. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oEMoy0VHlw

He was pretty progressive minded otherwise I apologize to Peter King for fabricating a history of shield bootlicking.

If there were a leaguewide re-draft, Kyler probably still goes in the top 15. Maybe even top 10, if you put a premium on youth?

This can't possibly be true. Surely the bar for "conduct detrimental to the team" has to be higher than "got mad during a game."

There's nothing there that even remotely suggests Wilson's contract would have been in danger for snapping back at Payton.

It's just obviously made up and absurd on its face. Contracts in the NFL don't get voided because a player argues with a coach.Diva Cupcake posted:Could just be talking about "conduct detrimental to the team" clauses being an intentionally vague way for teams to exert power. There is no distinction between Aaron Hernandez killing sprees, Antonio Brown doing Antonio Brown things, and a QB getting into public fight with his HC. I would argue there is absolutely IS a distinction between those things!

I… thought that contract was prohibitive. Over the cap says the Broncos should have an $85 million hit for cutting him? With $49.6 million in dead money? Versus paying "just" $35 million to keep him on the roster.

Micah Hyde's contract also expired and he's been mulling retirement. So, 3 of their 4 starters going into the beginning of last season likely won't be there in 2024.

Tua was way better than Baker last year. He put up obscene numbers for a while and made the Pro Bowl in a stacked AFC. Baker was like an okay starter last season after bottoming out in his two previous years. If he gets an extension, it'll be a lot closer to Burrow money than Baker money.

The whole thing with the Texans is that they have the incredible fortune of possessing a top 5 QB in the second year of his rookie deal. What good is that if you don't use the cap space?

Intruder posted:That's why I wanted them to splurge on like Saquon or Jacobs or when Jones became available then him I agree and I think even from a strictly on-field perspective he's been marginally overrated. But if you don't care about him being a POS and your assessment of him as a player matches the general consensus, the contract itself is fine. It's not really that burdensome.

SKULL.GIF posted:What was going on with Diggs in the locker room that the Bills bailed on him? He was still really productive I thought. It seemed pretty obvious he wasn't happy in Buffalo. There were tweets from his brother about getting Stefon out of the horrible situation he was in, he didn't initially show up for training camp, etc. His production tapered off pretty dramatically at the end of last year. Don't know if it was a bad stretch and/or he was nursing a secret injury or what.

I mean tbf they got four pretty good years from Diggs in that time.

If I had to guess I think Diggs will still perform like a pretty high end WR1 next year; top 10–15ish guy. But reasonable chance that he's already properly washed or will be over the next couple years and the Texans are in a much better position to deal with that 2025 contract than the Bills were.

So Diggs's motivation is that he gets a modest (by NFL standards) raise this year—and if he plays well—more guaranteed money at the start of next year. The Texans' motivation is what? Doing their new player a solid and building goodwill? Making it easier to negotiate with him for a more appropriate contract next offseason?

That's best I can figure, but surely many members of the Chargers roster were 4–5 stars? If you're going this route, why not at least use draft position, instead of something that screams "my head is still in the NCAA."

The only thing I like about Gronk is a story that I heard probably from someone here about a friend that didn't follow football but saw him in some Dunkin Donuts promotional campaign. Said friend just assumed Dunkin Donuts invented a human being mascot named "Gronk" to hawk their Coolattas.

SKULL.GIF posted:This is totally because Kraft is upset Brady left the Patriots and then won a Super Bowl, isn't it. He blames Belichick for creating the environment that led Brady to leave. Almost certainly. I'm sure Kraft liked Brady more on a personal level than he ever did Belichick, but Kraft made what he thought was the pragmatic choice. Whereas Brady faced a very obvious physical cliff as he aged, theoretically he could still milk many more years of THE GREATEST COACH OF ALL TIME. But then said coach/GM was loving pretty bad without Tom Brady.
